Mercury 28 VDC Ethernet Media Converters

Mercury Ethernet Media Converter

Moog Protokraft Mercury series Ethernet fiber optic media converters consist of optoelectronic single or dual transmitter and receiver functions integrated along with the 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX or 1000Base-T electrical to 1000Base-SX optical media conversion circuitry into an externally mounted MIL-DTL-38999 connector assembly.

The optical transmitters are high output 1310 nm LEDs or 850 nm VCSELs.The optical receivers consist of InGaAs or GaAs PIN and preamplifier assemblies and limiting post-amplifiers. The electrical interface to the Mercury series bulkhead optical media converters is a MIL-DTL-38999 connector enabling interconnection to an internal backplane or external backbone cable interface.
